Phytotensors
35 years of expertise
FOR FACE AND BODY COSMETIC BENEFITS
Natural tensors of plant origin, also known as phytotensors, are particularly interesting candidates for meeting contemporary consumer expectations in terms of naturalness, product versatility, formula efficiency and sensoriality. Thanks to physical properties, they form an invisible, non-occlusive film on the skin's surface. Tensors deliver a multitude of cosmetic benefits that are instantly perceptible and measurable over time.
SILAB's innovation lies in its unique ability to combine new technology and scientifically proven performance with each generation of phytotensors. SILAB has obtained 47 patents, making it a genuine leader in this field.
CONSTANT TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
Based on its recognized expertise in the development of active molecules obtained from plants, SILAB exerts perfect control over the techniques of extraction, purification, enzymatic hydrolysis and biopolymerization.
Polymerization of plant proteins (POLYLIFT®), purification of natural polysaccharides (OSILIFT®), biopolymerization of sugars (INSTENSYL®) or interpenetration of biopolymer networks (FILMEXEL®), as many patented technologies permitting to potentialize the cosmetic benefits of phytotensor active ingredients.
This leads to a variety of performances: sensorial (immediate tensor result), instrumental (immediate lifting action maintained throughout the day) or aesthetic (make-up long-lasting effect).
THE FHB TECHNOLOGY®
For its 6th generation of phytotensors, SILAB has developed FHB technology® (Functionalized helical biopolymer technology®). This technological innovation, based on the selection of chestnut polysaccharides, rests on two main stages.
First, controlled hydrolysis produces helical biopolymers that give the film its powerful tensor effect. Secondly, the ionic functionalization of these helical biopolymers reinforces the adhesion properties of the phytotensor for improved durability over time.
Resulting from this technology, LIFTILIENCE® is a natural film-forming active ingredient offering multiple, rapid and long-lasting cosmetic benefits for the face and body on Caucasian and Asian volunteers.
